A colossal dog sculpture, 8.5 meters high and 6.7 meters wide, is established in an outdoor space on the museum's west side. The work, Aomori-ken (Aomori Dog) was created by NARA Yoshitomo, an internationally active artist from Hirosaki. Nara paintings of figures with glaring eyes resonate with people everywhere who feel overwhelmed by the complexity of temporary living.
